I have been updating and have a contractor living there working on it every day, so i do have additional plans to bring it up to current standards.I really hope this gets directed to the right person.Thank You Bill Walsh

I have seen the house a few times and have recently had two contractors give me estimates on finishing the house (heating, plumbing, paint, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, etc, etc).

Generally, only a licensed contractor can file a mechanics lien, and he would have to have proof that the owner of the property actually ordered the work done; as in a signed contract authorizing the work.It could cost the tenant a whole bunch of money in a lawsuit if he filed a false lien in order to blackmail the landlord.

Or else, as you said - Listing Agent would tell us for sure if it is under contract or not.

For me the most expensive contractors are plumbing.

In TX, I got connected with a very inexpensive, good quality, honest contractor for a couple of cosmetic fixers.

I hope you got this number from a contractor (preferably one that is capable and ready to do the work) as, once again, it will add to your credibility.

We have formed a network of licenced contractors that we have worked with over the past , that are all quality sub contractors.

If they sue the LLC and fail, or don't get a large enough judgment, they'll next try coming after you the individual, or contractor, or sole proprietorship...

Assigning a contract or having a double-closing?
